That base salary is raised by the amount of tips you can make, and the promise of this is what motivates most people to become dealers. The plus side is that many of the casinos do have great health insurance so if you need that kind of benefit for you or your family, this is helpful.
Truthfully, the salary is not very lucrative with many dealers only making the Nevada minimum wage of $7.25 per hour for those companies that offer benefits and $8.25 per hour for those that do not. The first thing to consider before deciding to become a Las Vegas dealer is the amount of money you will make.
